FACTS
There are no standardized methods to measure what molds, at what
exposure levels, over what period of time, might cause any given
person to become ill.
Mold problems are
typically the result of water intrusion through bad plumbing or
structure leaks. This means that any building is at risk,
including new homes or new buildings.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the federal
authority on health in the United States, has declared very few
illnesses directly related to mold exposure.

 The
Environmental Protection Agency estimates that on any given
school day one in five Americans are in a secondary school.
Unfortunately, school district budgets typically aren’t large
enough to allow for proper upkeep of the buildings to prevent
and repair water intrusion, thus allowing mold growth to occur.
The “Katrina Cough” is a respiratory illness thought to be
linked to exposure to mold and dust after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Louisiana in 2005.
Mold needs moisture to grow. If homes and buildings are kept
moisture-free through proper maintenance, the potential for mold
infestation is limited.

ABOUT FILM
Imagine
becoming so sensitive to almost everything you’re exposed to
daily like common chemicals, furniture, foods, and pollen that
it makes you so ill you can’t function. You must isolate
yourself from others. You become unable to work, the doctors
don’t believe you, and neither does your family. You’re mocked
and you struggle daily to maintain your surroundings and health.
Watch this
entertaining and shocking film as filmmaker Michael Roland
Williams chronicles the agonizing struggle of those who have
endured after being exposed to toxic mold. Most are still
overwhelmed with debilitating symptoms years after exposure,
while doctors, lawmakers, and attorneys take sides and dismiss
their claims.
Black
Mold Exposure
follows Michael Roland Williams, filmmaker, and Karen Noseff,
founder and designer of Fortune Denim, struggling to
regain their livelihood and well-being after they were
unknowingly exposed to high levels of various molds that had
infested Karen’s apartment. The entire 264-unit apartment
community was evacuated and closed indefinitely. Michael and
Karen claim to have developed allergies and sensitivities to
virtually everything, causing them difficulty in finding “safe”
housing as well as numerous other bizarre problems that have
continued over the last five years.
A growing number of people from all ages and walks of life
claim mold made them ill while physicians, lawmakers, and
medical associations dispute the validity of these claims. Most
of the symptoms of those claiming illness from mold can be
caused by, and diagnosed as, any number of other illnesses.
There are no standardized methods to measure what molds, at what
exposure levels, over what period of time, might cause any given
person to become ill.
BLACK MOLD EXPOSURE explores the bizarre illnesses associated
with exposure to toxic mold and the film participants’
difficult task of regaining their health and lives in an
atmosphere of political and social intolerance and disbelief.
BLACK MOLD EXPOSURE is a first-ever look into the lives of those
claiming to be ill from mold and the controversial and volatile
climate surrounding it.
